Donald Trump told Theresa May to sue the EU over Brexit

On Friday, Trump said he gave Theresa May advice on how to negotiate Brexit, but she found it too "brutal."

This morning, May revealed that advice was to sue the EU.

LONDON — British Prime Minister Theresa May on Sunday said US President Donald Trump had previously advised her to sue the European Union as part of her Brexit strategy, revealing a piece of advice Trump said last week she had ignored.

"He told me I should sue the EU," May told BBC television. "Sue the EU. Not go into negotiations — sue them."

On a joint press conference on Friday, Trump said he had given May advice, but she found it too "brutal."
